Heat-reflecting windscreen

The heat-reflecting windscreen has a

coating which reflects solar radiation.

Also data signals, e.g. from toll

stations, might be reflected.

Dazzling by following vehicles at night

is automatically reduced by dimming

the interior mirror.

To reduce dazzle, adjust the lever on

the underside of the mirror housing.

The marked areas on the windscreen

are not covered with the coating.

Devices for electronic data recording

and fee payment must be attached in

these areas. Otherwise data

recording malfunctions may occur.
